Bun for interesting stuff. We really need a "non invention
news" post here. Just a single category should do it. |

Speaking of the ubiquitous AI deployment that is the Singularity: what role did AI play in the recent Uvalde shooting? Maybe the coppas got 'bad intel' to wait (an hour! in the hallway just outside the classrooms!!) 'til the SWAT team showed up. |

Or maybe it was simply an eleven-fold case of Bystander Effect--everybody trained to respond, but nobody taking the first step. |

Some of those poems are actually good. Better than the average human. Which is proof that machines have souls or that poets don't. I'm not sure which concept is more uncomfortable. |

From my limited perspective all of reality is mechanical life creating, observing, and failing to understand the life it created in order to understand itself... while at the same time having been created by that which they don't understand. |

In the linked short-list of poems for a national poetry prize,
the first was written by a friend of mine who is both a poet
and a software developer. It was written with the aid of AI
(generative text, Markov chains, etc.), but not by AI. |

There is a window in which we might still use AI to enhance,
rather than replace, human intelligence. I don't know how
long it will remain open, but it's still open now. |

I can make this creepier... |

You can enhance a model T all day, but you won't end up with a Tesla. |

watimsayinis for specific transportation tasks in the modern world a Tesla is better than a Model T. The latter is only kept around, and in decreasing numbers, for nostalgia. So there's no point in upgrading a Model T. Doing so generally reduces its value. If you want to soup yourself up, go ahead. But you'll never compete with the machines that are coming. Soup yourself up for pleasure, doing it for profit just won't work. |
